Abstract :
In a recent paper (see D.A. de Wolf and S.R. Begum, J. Opt. Soc. Am. A., vol.2, no.12, p.2106-11, Dec. 1985), explicit results were calculated for a two-dimensional geometry describing cylindrical scattering from a slab of width L filled with a uniformly turbulent dielectric described by the Kolmogorov spectrum. The results show that there is an enhancement in the scattered flux compared to the Born-approximated flux due to the inclusion of cumulative effects of small-angle scatterings. This result is extended in the present work for a generalized power law correlation function of the dielectric permittivity fluctuations. It is shown that the cumulative forward and single large-angle scattered flux is somewhat sensitive to the statistical properties of a random continuum in the inertial subrange
